Mizpah Lodge Building

The Mizpah Lodge Building on Front St. in Sheldon, North Dakota was built in 1905.

It "was one of the masonic "blue" lodges, the common denominators of Masonry inasmuch as it was in such lodges that the initial three degrees - Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason - were conferred on the candidate."

The lodge had 11 charter members, and met in Sheldon's I.O.O.F hall and then in A.O.U.W.

It began construction of its own building in 1905 when membership had reached 54 and there were at least seven fraternal organizations in town, with scheduling of meeting times being an issue.
